I've been seeing chiropractors since I was young and have one in my family. So I know good ones from mediocre ones. Drs. Chard and Waggoner are great at making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. Their assistants are excellent at using all the latest medical equipment to relax your achy muscles and allow the doctors to fix whatever spinal issues you're having. What's so good about Active Family Chiropractic is what they don't do: Order LOTS of expensive X-rays, try to sell you heel lifts, foot inserts, belts, vitamins and other remedies, and tell you that you have to commit to a treatment "plan" of 4 visits per week for 4 weeks, then 3 for 3X etc. They simply fix your problem and have you leaving the office with a smile on your face. I also like that they treat children, pregnant moms, seniors, and everyone else. Thanks Drs! read more

I was beyond impressed with the friendly service of Bailey at the front desk and my service provider Andrea! The releases Andrea achieved in one session, compared to sessions I've had over time at different locations, made me convinced to schedule future visits. I look forward to the personable and productive health care at Active Family! Note that as a new patient, you'll want to allow yourself about 15 minutes ahead of your scheduled appointment to do the paperwork or do by computer in advance of your appointment day-- get that whole hour of physical therapy that's worth it! read more

Been periodically going here for years until a couple of months ago. Although I prefer to be in and out of these kind of things things, Dr. W is WAY too rushed. In her rush, she dislocated my ribs from by sternum. When I screamed she said she was sorry multiple times and tried to put it back - three times in two days. I ended up going to an ortho, the hospital for x-rays, my primary care doc, and another chiropractor to fix it. Then I get a BILL from her office for the "treatment"! When I called thinking the bill was in error, I was told that since I received treatment, the bill was valid. When I asked that they just pay my copays for the treatment I needed to correct the injury Dr W inflicted on me, the "Doctor" sent me a curt email saying that wouldn't be happening and if I didn't like it I can contact her malpractice insurance company. (She told he previously, before she decided to be nasty, that she has done this 4 times before) Omg .. are you freaking kidding me?! If anyone has any questions, or would like to see proof of this, to include that email from the "doctor", I'm happy to share. read more

I have been seeing Michelle Waggoner one of the Chiropractors here since she was at the Chiropractic college. She and Michelle Chard opened this amazing practice together. I have see. Both of them and I can say they both do an amazing job. When you go into the treatment room, first you tell them what is bothering you, and they feel around to see what's what. Next they use the "Tens" machine which sends an electric current to your muscles and relaxes them along with a heavy cozy warm pad. After the time is up on the machine you get a bit of a massage in the area needing the adjustment. After all that, one of the Michelle's comes in and "adjust's" you. I love that they get you loose prior to the adjustment, I have a friend that goes to a Chiropractor that adjusts you as soon as you get in the door, NO THANKS! These women have a fantastic progressive clinic, I GUARANTEE you will LOVE THEM! Capriece read more

I've been enjoying the creative care at Active Family for years. The massage therapy is excellent! Dr Chard and Waggoner are manipulating geniuses. Cash price is so affordable as well. Highly recommend. read more

My family loves Dr. Chard and the whole staff! I had regular adjustments the second half of my pregnancy and I felt they helped so much with my general comfort as well as with helping my daughter into an optimal position for delivery. Since having my daughter I have brought her in regularly for craniosacral and she has made such great improvements with her latch and overall feeding comfort for both of us. I especially love how kid friendly their office is and that I have never once had to worry about childcare for my busy 3 year old, there is no way I would have been able to receive regular care otherwise. read more

I started gong here about 5 months ago when I moved to town from Denver. My chiropractor in Denver referred me here. They are great. I have seen both chiropractors and they do a very thorough job. I like the office staff and overall office environment. They are great with my kids when they come with me. Love that I can book appointments online. read more

They are the best. Hands down. They are kind and listen to the patient and cater to each patients need. They see myself as well as my kids: ages 4, 11 and 15. Highly recommend for ALL family members! read more

I receive great care here. The staff and Dr. Chard are amazing! I used to have bad headaches often and it's rare to have one now and there milder. They have reasonable and affordable rates.Thank you for great care. read more

I have been going to these chiropractors for more than two years and would highly recommend them. I first began getting adjusted here (plus they give a ten minute mini massage before the adjustment! Heaven!!) before the birth of my twins. Dr. Chard specializes in prenatal adjustments and I have now had 3 kids with all my prenatal adjustments with her. The staff is beyond amazing too. My insurance coverage literally took over a year to reimburse them and they were so gracious and kind about it even though I felt like a jerk since they didn't get paid for so very very very long. They really care about you and want to see you taken care of, so don't let complicated insurance coverage stop you, they will help you. I love their kid friendly rooms too, such a relief to know when I am face down on the adjustment table they are not getting into anything bad. Last note, the massages there are fantastic!! Pregnant moms!!! They have foam pads so you can actually lay on your "belly"!! This saved me in both my pregnancies so much. The ladies are stellar and I literally I have two massage appointments lined up for next month. OVERALL: YOU WILL NOT FIND A MORE COMPETENT AND CARING PLACE! read more

I received excellent care here by Dr. Chard during my pregnancy. Not only did she tremendously help my lower back pain during the last trimester, but I am convinced that her treatments contributed to quick, easy delivery I had (even though it was my first pregnancy). I will definitely be bringing my baby to her, and will continue to see her especially during subsequent pregnancies. I was also treated well by everyone I met at the clinic and felt that all the staff and massage therapists were very helpful and professional. read more

My Kaiser healthcare provider recommended Active Family for my arthritis pain. Started going 2 months ago. Rebecca listened to my concerns and checks in during massage to make sure I am ok with what she is doing. Have had a reduction in pain and look forward to my next massage. Office staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend Active family Chiropractic s for massage services . read more

Was able to get a same day appointment when I called. I was booked with Jolene for a massage. She was friendly and knows what she doing. The room was small, cozy and nicely decorated. They even offer weekend appointments. Will definitely booked again. read more

I saw Dr. Waggoner for approximately 3 years while I lived in Gresham, Oregon. I recently had to move to another state and one of the biggest challenges will be finding a chiropractor as good as Michele Waggoner. She and her staff took great care of me. I have degenerative disc disease and sometimes created other problems for my back as well from lifting things too heavy, to playing on the floor too long with my grandson. Without fail, I felt better after my visits to Active Family. I loved the messages too! I trusted them so much, that when my mom came for a visit and complained about her hip and shoulder, I asked her to go see them for a treatment. She was 93 and had never been to a chiropractor in her life. She was beyond elated when she came out, telling me it was the best her hip had felt in years! I recommended Dr. Waggoner to everyone I met when they mentioned any kind of back or joint pain and I recommend her and her staff to you with no reservations! read more

My entire family has been seeing Dr. Waggoner & Dr. Chard for many years and we all just love them. The office staff is friendly and efficient, their massage therapists are skilled and caring and overall it is just a wonderful environment to receive treatment. read more

Had my first appointment with Michelle Waggoner and she was amazing. I walked in the office with upper and lower back pain and walked out feeling like i could do gymnastics! All staff were kind and her assistant gave a great message. Although I was a new patient I felt like I had been there before. I already scheduled my next appointment and I am looking forward to it. Highly recommended this place! read more

I am honored and excited to be the very first review here for ACTIVE FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC. After being treated at Advanced Care Chiropractic, it was there that I experienced first hand the highest level of professionalism, care and integrity that came from Dr Michelle Waggoner & Dr Michelle Chard to each of there patients. I specifically asked that Dr Waggoner be the lead chiropractor to take over my treatment as she showed a level of professionalism that far outweighed other colleges. She is highly skilled and very sensitive in her caring approach. Her training in sports medicine and her willingness to continue her advancing in higher education and knowledge exceed the need to self boast. Her humility sets her apart from others in the field. She is extremely respected in the local community and in the chiropractic field, and at the same time very personable. Dr Michelle Chard has treated my adult daughter for the last 5 years. She loved the careful and tender treatment that Dr Chard gave her throughout two pregnancies and continues to see her today. She even has Dr Chard treat her 4 yr old and 2 yr old little girls. I have also received several professional therapeutic massages from Rebecca the massage therapist. Always sad but refreshed when they came to an end. She is definitely The Best at massage therapy that I have ever experienced. After several appointments with other massage therapists their is no other option in my book. Rebecca is tops! Dr Waggoner & Dr Michelle Chard have opened their new practice in a beautiful office that is state of the art, inviting and relaxing. I have been a patient of theirs for almost 5 years, and loved the comfortable yet extremely professional treatment I have always been given by them. I am thrilled to follow them to their new location and have complete faith in their entire staff. I cannot give a more positive referral to any other chiropractic office in the Gresham area. Active Family Chiropractic staff and doctors have my entire family and extended family's devoted following and support. read more

I've been suffering from lower back pain and neck pain for several months. My lower back felt immobile, even when attempting to do some yoga poses there was no flexibility. My first appt they used the tens and heat, massage and adjustments. After my treatment my neck and back felt some much looser. I'd been going to PT for a couple months and didn't see any results but after one appt at Active Family it was a miracle. I have much more flexibility in my lower back I hadn't had in several months. I'm very happy with the results. The staff is amazing and Dr. Waggoner is a miracle worker. I can't believe the huge difference with just a couple visits, even after the first initial visit. I've lived with the lower back and neck pain for so long I'd resigned to live with it. I'm so happy I decided to make an appt at this practice. It's a life changer. Thank you Active Family! Also the location and parking is great. read more
